  As if by magic, the Master 
Fader icon appears on the iPad 
Home screen after it has fi nished 
downloading.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  Even if your iPad has the Master 
Fader app already installed, it’s a 
good idea to go to the App Store 
now to check for updates. Press the 
Update button near the bottom right 
and follow the instructions. You will 
want the latest and greatest version 
for the absolute best in functionality 
and versatility. 

Five Simple Steps

3. Connect the 
iPad to  the 
DL1608: 

The iPad 
2 and the 
iPad (3rd 
generation) 
easily slide 
onto the DL1608 right to left, face up, 
Home button on the left; keep sliding 
until it mates with the iPad dock 
connector. 

  Are you using a fi rst generation 
iPad? Simply remove the four screws 
in the DL1608 tray insert, take out 
the tray insert and put the screws 
back into the tray. Now you may 
slide the iPad onto the DL1608 as 
described above. 

  Save the tray insert!! Should 
you ever upgrade to an iPad 2 or 
iPad (3rd generation), the tray will 
be necessary!

  Also included with the mixer 
is the DL1608 PadLock™. This is 
used to lock the iPad into place 
on the mixer. Place the PadLock 
on the right hand side of the 
DL1608 and hand-tighten each of 
the two security screws using the 
supplied wrench. 

  Need a little more information 
on any of the above? Detailed 
descriptions (with pictures even!) 
exists in the DL1608 Reference 
Guide.
